Raise the front of the vehicle. Open oil fill cap on engine. Open drain plug on bottom of engine with wrench and drain oil out. Behind the engine on the passenger side is the oil filter. Place a filter removal tool on it and rotate counter-clockwise to loosen. Once loose you can spin off by hand. Watch your eyes. Clean off the surface and apply some new oil to the seal of the new filter and spin on. Hand tighten as hard as you can, do not use a tool to tighten unless you don't have the strength to give it a good twist. Replace the drain plug in the oil pan and refill the engine with oil. I changed my oil filter on my 1997 Saturn sl2 once and decided that I would not do it again. It is in an cramped place. It took me a long time to get it out, whereas an oil change company does it in about ten minutes.
Changing the oil on a '97 SL2 can be a bit of a pain, but really it's one of the easier cars to change. In comparison to, say, one of the late '90s Ford Tauruses, where you had to reach around the usually piping-hot exhaust pipe as it snaked down from the engine and along the undercarriage. The first answer is dead-on, but a small tip: if you lay a plastic grocery bag on top of the axle housing directly underneath the oil filter, you can avoid some really nasty dripping. The bag will act as a sort of conduit for the oil coming out of the filter to run down, dripping it straight into your oil catch-pan. Then when you're finished, just pull the bag off and all you have is a few drips to wipe off. Works like a charm for me.
